Meet the Trustworthy Talent Behind the Lens: Photography by Alexandra

When friends ask, “Who should we hire to capture our big day?” one local vendor keeps being the answer: Photography by Alexandra. Based on Hertel Avenue in North Buffalo, Alexandra has built her wedding-photography business with just as much heart as her camera. Her motto? Every moment matters.

For couples planning a wedding in the Buffalo, NY or Rochester, NY area, Alexandra offers more than just a camera and shutter speed; she offers a connection, an experience, and imagery you’ll want to revisit again and again.

Why Alexandra Stands Out

A Proven Professional

Since launching in 2009, Alexandra reports she has photographed over 350 weddings at more than 150 different wedding venues in Western New York. That kind of track-record means she knows the rhythm of a wedding day: the small jitters, the big laugh, the in-between sigh. For couples, that translates to peace of mind.

Full-Day Coverage & Flexible Packages

One of the first things to look for in a wedding photographer is: Are you covered for all the meaningful parts of your day? Alexandra offers full-day coverage, so you don’t have to worry about adding extra hours if things run long. From the content on her site, she emphasizes experience across wedding, portrait, event and architecture photography, indicating versatility.

She also includes an engagement session in many of her wedding packages; think of it as a trial run, a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day.

The Personal Touch

What really makes Photography by Alexandra feel like more than a vendor-transaction is the relationship she builds with her couples. She makes it a point to meet in person, talk through the timeline, special photo requests, and what kind of vibe you want documented. From her site:

“I hold the relationship I establish with my clients to the highest level. Raw emotion cannot be captured through an image without a bond and trust.”

That kind of genuine, flexible attitude? It signals that she sees you first, the two of you and your story, not just a wedding package.

Local, Rooted & Accessible

Her studio is located at 1555 Hertel Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14216 in the neighborhood of North Buffalo. And within a 2.5-hour radius of Buffalo, she offers no travel fee for the wedding day (as noted on her site). For local couples, that means fewer surprises, and the comfort of knowing your photographer is right here in the community.

What Couples Can Expect

1. A Meet-Up (or Zoom) to Get Acquainted

Before the wedding, Alexandra will schedule a consultation. You’ll talk about your timeline, special photo requests (the quirky thing your partner does that you love), and location shots you might want. It’s your chance to treat her like that friend who’s going to be there with you on your day, only she’s going to be capturing everything beautifully.

2. Engagement Session = Practice for Fun

Say yes to the engagement session. It’s a relaxed shoot (think: coffee, a stroll, laughter). It helps you get comfortable in front of the camera, and it helps Alexandra get to know how you two are as a couple, so on the wedding day she’s not meeting you for the first time.

3. Wedding Day Coverage

On the day itself, she provides full-day coverage so from getting ready to the last dance, she’s there and ready. Because she has so many weddings under her belt (350+), she’s comfortable with timeline variations and unpredictable moments. No worrying about “what if we go late” and “who’s going to capture that moment when my grandma hugs me.”

4. All the Images, Yours to Share

Once the day is done? She delivers the images for download or on USB. No watermark, no downsizing. You get full access to print, share, relive. (Based on the messaging on her site about “visual record of your story” and “portals to memories and events documented in time forever.”)

5. A Local Studio Visit

Since she has a physical studio in Buffalo, you have the option of stopping by, bringing pets, chatting over coffee. It’s not just remote bookings; it’s grounded in your community.

Why This Call Feels Like Advice from a Friend

If we were recommending her like I would a trusted friend, here’s what we’d say:

• You’ll feel comfortable, not posed. Alexandra’s approach is friendly and down-to-earth, so you won’t feel like you’re doing “photo ops” all day.

• She handles the logistics, so you don’t have to. From timeline talks to no travel-fee within a given radius, full-day coverage, she’s got the practical pieces covered.

• You’ll get more than Instagram-shots. Because she emphasizes emotion, connection, and genuine moments, your photos will be the kind you look back on and really feel.

• Support a local business. She’s rooted in Buffalo; you’ll be working with someone who knows the area, cares about the community, and is invested in your story.

• Flexibility for your unique wedding. Whether your day is big or intimate, she’s positioned to work with a variety of settings and styles.

A Few Tips for Getting the Most from Her

• Book early. With so many weddings under her belt, and a studio in town, her calendar fills. Secure her spot as soon as you know your date.

• Have your “must-have shots” list ready. Think about the people, moments, details that matter to you; the dress hanging with your grandma’s brooch, the cake cutting, that quiet hug before the first dance. Share these ahead of time so Alexandra can plan for them.

• Plan for the engagement session as part of your celebration, not just a “photo thing.” Use it as a reason to have a date together… walk the neighborhood you first met, grab ice cream, make it fun.

• Lean into the relationship. Snapshots are more than technicality; they’re emotional. Chat customizations, talk about your partner’s quirks, your vision, your favorite color palette. The more she knows you, the more your story will shine in the images.

• Trust the process. The day goes fast. On your wedding morning, leave the photo worries behind, she’s got it. Focus on your person, your people, your moment.

Choosing a wedding photographer isn’t just picking someone who “takes good pictures.” It’s choosing someone who becomes part of your day, part of your story. With Photography by Alexandra, you’re getting a seasoned professional who also feels like the supportive, trusted friend who’s got your back.

So if you’re planning your wedding in Buffalo or Rochester and you want someone who will see you, capture you, and value your day the way you do, take a deeper look at Alexandra. Because your wedding isn’t just a headline; it’s every look, laugh, tear, and in-between moment. And your photos should remind you of all of it, beautifully.

You deserve that. Here’s to your unforgettable day and to the memories that will last for a lifetime!
